Even without being the reigning queen of science fiction and fantasy entertainment, brunette power pack Jessica Alba would be a queen of fantasy. But unlike the adorable, largely underachieving dolls who routinely show up on "Hottest 100" lists, the perennially drooled over Miss Alba is hugely accomplished on large screen and small. Dark Angel, Sin City, Fantastic Four and Good Luck Chuck would all be poorer without the golden talent of Jessica Alba.

Jessica Alba's first film role in the 1994 film Camp Nowhere came to her by chance. She was cast with a bit part in the film after one of the characters dropped out of the production. Dark-haired Jessica was cast as the replacement, thanks to the fact that her hair matched that of the original actress.
